Tears From My Soul
There are times when I felt like
the tears I've cried were from my soul.
My insides felt a deep hurt
beyond my control.

Perhaps it was the way the Lord
could get all of the loss out of me.
The loss of a loved one who
had been called to heaven - their spirit freed.

I lost my Dad when I was a young man,
innocent from that kind of pain.
I'd prayed and prayed and finally my soul
was healed - I no longer wained.

Then my Mother went to God and
my parents were both gone - I felt alone.
My spirit was sad, I cried again -
but God told me that He had called them home.

I am aware that the Lord healed me,
my soul soon felt happy once again.\
I pray that your spirit is not crying,
but if it is the Lord will make it's sorrow end.
